AUGUSTA, Ga. – Poppy and Sammy are going to have a day on Wednesday.
Both Rory McIlroy, papa of Poppy, and Jordan Spieth, daddy to Sammy, confirmed that they intend to bring their young children to the Masters Par-3 Contest on Wednesday.
“It’s funny. When you don’t have children, the Par-3 seems like a bit of an afterthought, and then once kids arrive, it sort of becomes the highlight of the week in a way,” McIlroy said of the tournament played on Augusta National’s nine-hole par-3 course with holes ranging from 70 to 140 yards. “So, yeah, I’m looking forward to it. It will be fun to get out there tomorrow and watch her run around.”
